Green Zones of Athens

Green Zones of Athens
Was it its speedy development done in haste because the waves of immigrants needed to be housed? Why is the analogy of square areas of green belts per inhabitant (according to a 1994 survey) 9 for the Eternal City of Rome, 27 for Amsterdam, 50 for Washington, but just 2,55 for Athens?
Setting aside the rhetorical questions and looking on the map, the large green areas could be counted on two hands.
The National Garden, Pedion tou Areos and other large green zones are far off what is internationally called "park".
Practically, the City of Athens has no green belt corresponding to its size and we regard as "lungs of the city" the planted with cypress trees cemeteries, for example the First Cemetery of Athens.
The Ministry of Environment & Energy announced some years ago the plans to unify the green belts, similar to the unification of the archaeological sites. For the time being, residents and visitors must be content with the continuous remodeling of the existing green zones.
